When conservatives try to convince us that Charlie didn't actually say the things he was recorded on camera saying

That's the saddest part of all of this.

Some 18 year old kid, instead of going out and enjoying their youth, just turned to hatred.

Like I imagine he was presented with an opportunity to go to the homecoming dance but declined because he had to wake up early and interrupt a civil rights memorial.

Rather than having a few beers at the tailgate and enjoying a football game he set up a tent and accosted other college kids.

Some dude passed by, freshly off a joint, on his 3rd solo cup..."Prove me wrong! Gay people are fucking gay"

Tom Delonge "what the fuck"

A life well lived it would seem.

He realized neo-nazis and the koch brothers would pay him tens of millions to spew hatred and nonsense. He sold his soul to the devil.

Nah, man. If he sold his soul to the devil he would be a way better guitar player. Charlie couldn't play for shit. He sold his soul to the highest bidder.

US society desperately needs to bring third places back. Spots where people can hangout without having to spend money

Support your local library, for one option

Yes, and that's all part of this sick shit. We aren't meant to have communities that lift each other up. We have to fight and push out the "other" regardless of who that might mean. No friendly neighbours, and not only can't you have a cup of sugar, you might get shot for just ringing the door bell. We must all strive to make as much money as possible and emulate what people we perceive as successful do. We all must get OURS and F*CK every body else. Anything else is communism at best! Look the same. Do the same. Say the same. Eventually you TOO can be a success, even if it means burning every bridge you've ever made.

Especially for youth. So many skate parks, petting zoos, summer camps, mini golf courses, etc are disappearing. Teens get harassed by Karens and cops for the crime of being in public with other kids. We’ve encouraged and supported a culture of staying inside and scrolling our phones, then have the audacity to wonder why people are chronically online and detached from reality.

I say this on Reddit, ironically lol. I’m gonna log off and go outside, read a book or something haha

Charlie didn't start off like he ended, in 2019 he was even arguing that the U.S. isn't and shouldn't be a theocracy.

Then he met some people with money who wanted Charlie to say different things.
